City of Milpitas

As part of the Milpitas Smart City Infrastructure Program, microgrids were deployed at the Milpitas Community Center and the Barbara Lee Senior Center. The microgrids, designed to keep power on during a grid outage, consist of solar panels, battery storage, and a backup generator. EV charging stations were also installed outside the Senior Center. Incentives from Silicon Valley Clean Energy and the CA’s Self-Generation Incentive Program along with energy savings from all the measures implemented will yield a net benefit in the millions of dollars each year and provide necessary resiliency and sustainability to our community.
